Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hey, right here's the issue. PC is on, laptop is on, I can ping between the IPs (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.5). I tried using the NAT option for VNC (ports 5500, 5800, and 5900) to no success.

    Any clues? I'd much prefer to have unlimited access between the machines. I'm not using firewalls and all that jazz.

    Stop reading this answer right now and CLOSE THE PORTS ON YOUR ROUTER!!!!!. Both of your PCs are behind the same firewall, so you don't have to make any changes to the NAT configuration to communicate between those PCs.

    Is the VNC server running on the Desktop? Are you running a software firewall on that machine that's blocking incoming connections? What happens when you try to connect to http://192.168.1.1:5800 (assuming 192.168.1.1 is the desktop). What happens if you try that URL on the server itself? What about acessing http://127.0.0.1:5800 on the server itself?
